The New York Giants place the former first-round pick, Ereck Flowers, on waivers

Flowers was the ninth pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He started 46 games left during his first three professional seasons. It was a fight. The Giants have pushed him to attack thoroughly this season, and he has started the first two games this year before they interrupt the experience.

The giants made the decision to leave Flowers earlier this week and Adam Schefter of ESPN announced that they were looking for a trading partner. That was still unlikely with more than $ 1.7 million remaining in the final year of Flowers' rookie contract.

"I think it's just the kind of course," coach Pat Shurmur said Monday. "We appreciate Ereck's efforts and we wish him every success.Sometimes a change of scenery is a good thing for a person and we simply hope that he will be able to go out and continue to have a good career. . "

Flowers was forced into the starting lineup at the left attack during his rookie season when Will Beatty tore his pectoral muscle in the spring. The flowers remained there until the end of the season, when the Giants signed left-handed striker Nate Solder for an unprecedented contract.

Flowers' time with the Giants was filled with uneven games and dubious moments. He had a confrontation with former offensive line coach Pat Flaherty during his rookie season and was ruled out most of the time in the waiting room. He pushed a journalist after a defeat in the 2016 season. The flowers and line-up player Bobby Hart were also not part of the team's Secret Santa program last year and were questioned at the end of the season. the final of the team, according to several sources.

This year did not start well for Flowers under the new regime led by General Manager Dave Gettleman. Flowers was a parade for the start of the Giants' training program in the off season. When he finally showed up, they immediately inserted him as the right forward of the first team. He stayed there until two bad performances to start the season.

Chad Wheeler has since replaced Flowers in the starting formation.

The Giants promoted offensive tackle Brian Mihalik to take the place of Flowers' line-up. He will serve as a tackle Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. This is the role played by Flowers before his release.
